Is it "good" or "bad" to get too close to leaders?

I used to be close to the leader at work. People mistakenly think that there is a different relationship between us Although the work is more convenient, it has a bad reputation and is criticized by people. So keep your distance from the leader, but there is no difference between good and bad! There should be a proper distance between people. There should be a distance between husband and wife and children, not to mention leaders who didn't know you before.

Many people in the workplace think that the closer to the leader, the better. It is a good thing to be the "red man" around the leader. In fact, this is not the case many times. There is a limit to everything. If you get too close to the leader, you will put yourself at a disadvantage. So what are the disadvantages of getting too close to the leader?

1. Leaders are moody.

As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger", and a leader is also a three-dimensional real person, with joys and sorrows. If you accidentally hit the leader's "gun", the consequences can be imagined. Leaders may restrain their emotions in front of other subordinates, but this control will be greatly reduced in front of you, because you are "acquaintances".

2. Gossip about colleagues

Maybe your work ability is quite strong, but once you get too close to the leader, your work ability will be "stale". First of all, people will think that you are a person who focuses on "flattery" and has contempt for you. Even if you behave well, everyone's concern is more about how long you talked to the leader, went out for a few meals together, and whether you were there when the leader had something at home.

3. Personnel changes in the company

Few people will work in a company for a lifetime, and more often they will change jobs several times. The leader left his job, went to another company and got a new leader. What should you do? It is a very simple truth that new leaders generally don't like the "confidant" of the original leaders.

Some leaders may invite you to go to the next company with him. At this time, you must distinguish whether the invitation of the leader is a fake invitation or a real invitation. Needless to say, if you are polite, you must be stuck in the new company.

So on the whole, communication between leaders at work is inevitable. Try to help the leaders face in life, but don't be too "concerned". A person who has achievements, can report work and knows how to communicate will be more liked by leaders.
